NEW FAIRFIELD -- Katie Broderick helped lead the New Fairfield High girls basketball team to a big win Tuesday night, and in the process, she carved out a little piece of history for herself.

Broderick scored 17 points to lead the Rebels to a 64-35 victory over Barlow in the first round of the Class L state tournament. In doing so, she moved into 10th place on New Fairfield's all-time scoring list. Her 813 career points mover her past Beth Clark, who graduated in 2001 with 812.

At the top of that list, of course, is Jennier Rizzotti, who graduated in 1992 with 1,547 points before heading up to UConn and leading the Huskies to the 1995 national championship.

"Honestly, I had no idea I was even close to that," Broderick admitted. "It's an honor. To be with that company, I'm just blessed."

Broderick tied Clark for 10th place with a putback at the buzzer at the end of the third quarter which gave the 15th-seeded Rebels a 52-23 lead on the 18th-seeded Falcons. Broderick took sole possession of 10th place with a foul shot with 2:37 remaining.

Bridget Zima added 16 points for New Fairfield, including eight in the 22-8 run through the third quarter which put the Rebels ahead by 29. Erin Carter chipped in with 10 points, including a pair of 3-balls and a 4-for-4 effort from the foul line. Emma Gallagher led Barlow with nine points and Lily Taeuber added seven points.

"I thought we played well," Broderick said. "We had a strong first half, third quarter, and that made it a lot easier. We were a lot more comfortable out there. We're looking forward to Friday. We know we'll have a tough opponent, so we'll just have to prepare and get ready for them."

New Fairfield had won the regular-season meeting between the two teams but only four points on Jan. 17.

This time around, the Rebels opened a 17-7 lead after one quarter and never looked back.

"They're really good. This is one of the best teams Coach (Joe) Russo has had in a few years, and we couldn't stop them tonight," Barlow coach Joe Carollo said. "We tried every defense we could try. It didn't matter."

It was a tough way to end a successful season for Barlow (12-9), which will graduate four seniors -- Gillian Blackwell, Samarah Cook, Kelly Mahoney and Katie Williges.

"If you would have told me at the beginning of the year that we'd beat Newtown, Kolbe and Notre Dame, I'd have said you were crazy," Carollo said. "I'm very happy with the girls. They had a great season. We just ran into a tough team tonight."
